The Pakistan Air Force has taken delivery of two new F-16s. It was unclear from news reports on a PAF statement how many or how quickly more fighters would be purchased. Islamabad had said earlier it would need to hold off on the F-16 purchase it negotiated with Washington while it dealt with the costs and clean-up following the October earthquake.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
